Public Records Act

The Public Records Act provides the people with broad rights of access to public records. The purpose of the act is to allow people to be informed about governmental decisions and therefore help keep government accountable (WAC 44-14-01003). The act declares that it must be "liberally construed" to promote the public policy of open government (RCW 42.56.030).
